“I wish I was taught the importance of good nutrition, especially seafood nutrition, for my children’s brain and heart health. After

attending Seafood Nutrition Partnership’s nutrition education workshops in our community I now make sure my grandson eats

seafood at least twice a week---and he loves it!”

Ms. Jacquie B., Eating Heart Healthy Program Graduate,

Resident of Roxbury Tenants of Harvard

Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) engages community, health and culinary partners around the

country to conduct Eating Heart Healthy—an interactive cooking and nutrition program that

educates participants about the link between healthy eating and the risk of cardiovascular

disease.

A Public Health Crisis. America has a national health crisis with preventable diseases as obesity,

cardiovascular disease and diabetes are on the rise and all are preventable with proper diet and

exercise. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and the

annual cost to treat the disease is over $300 billion. A diet rich in seafood can help prevent many

of the fatal diseases affecting Americans. The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend eating at

least two servings of seafood weekly for a healthy diet, but only 10% of Americans follow the

recommendation. Studies show eating just 8 oz. of seafood a week helps to reduce the risks of

dying from heart disease. One of the biggest barriers to eating seafood is the lack of confidence

in knowing how to select, buy, prepare and eat seafood. Those barriers are preventing Americans

from incorporating a healthy and lean protein into their diets.

Eating Heart Healthy. Developed by SNP and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Eating Heart

Healthy teaches selection and preparation of seafood and its health benefits through interactive

nutrition and cooking demonstrations. Our affordable recipes are approximately $10 for four

servings. SNP follows up with all participants to ensure they continue their healthy eating and

support them with coupons, tips and recipes. By conducting Omega-3 screenings in a pilot

program with women at high-risk for heart disease, results showed that the program contributed

to a measurable impact in the participants’ health.

Chef Talking Points

The following are some sample talking points for live cooking demonstrations.

Welcome

Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to be here with you today!

As you heard, seafood is one of the healthiest proteins we can add to our diets.

[Raise your hand] How many of you currently make seafood dishes at home?

I’m going to show you how easy and affordable it is to make a couple of seafood meals a week.

Remember the acronym FISH for the goal of the program. We want to help make seafood a fast,

inexpensive, sustainable, and healthy choice for you.

Today I’m going to show you an Italian Tuna Salad and a Salmon Cakes recipe. These recipes

have been designed to cost less than $10 per dish for a family of four. Both use canned fish, so

that is something that you can buy way in advance and just have on hand for a quick meal.

Cooking Demonstration

[Go over ingredients and directions for the Italian Tuna Salad]

This salad recipe costs just over $9 for four servings and gives 150 milligrams of Omega-3 fatty

acids which are important for your heart health. You can also put tuna or other canned seafood

on whatever salad you are creating at home to make sure you are getting your Omega-3 fatty

acids and other essential nutrients. Eating seafood twice can help reduce your risk of dying of

heart disease.

The only cooked ingredient is a baked potato, so I recommend you make some potatoes the

night before for another meal and then just use a leftover potato for this recipe and make a great

nutritious lunch for the next day.

[Have participants sample the recipe]

Page 21: Seafood Nutrition Education & Cooking Program...Do you currently take fish oil or omega-3 capsules on a regular basis? Yes No . 5. Do you know where to buy seafood? Yes No 6. Do you

[Go over ingredients and directions for the Salmon Cakes]

Kids love this recipe and it can be a great option for some picky eaters. I developed this recipe for

Seafood Nutrition Partnership’s nutrition programs and one of the participants commented that

her grandson loves those pink burgers!

Salmon is notably high in Omega-3s, which can help reduce the risk of dying of heart disease,

which is America’s number one cause of death. Salmon can provide up to 2,400 mg for 4 ounces.

This costs about $6 to feed a family of four and gives 900 milligrams of Omega-3s.

[Have participants sample the recipe]

Wrap-Up

Tell me what you think of the dishes you sampled?

Would your family like this?

Thank you for joining us today. We hope you learned some inexpensive and convenient ways to

incorporate seafood into your diet.

FAQ for Health Partner How much fish can we eat per week? The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend eating about 8 ounces per week of a variety of seafood for optimum health. 8 oz. is about two servings, so you should eat seafood twice a week. The recommendation for moms-to-be is to eat 8 to 12 oz. per week, and to avoid Shark, King Mackerel, Tilefish, and Swordfish. You can definitely eat more but you want be sure to do it as part of balanced diet with the right portion sizes. You can go to http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ to learn about how many servings of different food groups are recommended.

What about toxins, like mercury? The top 10 species of seafood Americans eat represent ninety percent of the seafood consumed in the US and are all low in mercury. The FDA advises pregnant, expecting, or nursing women to not consume four types of fish: Shark, Swordfish, Tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico and King Mackerel and to limit albacore tuna to 6 oz. a week. A study by the FDA shows that the upper safe amount of seafood you would have to eat to have negative effects from mercury is very high. For example, the study showed a pregnant woman would have to eat 1080 oz. of salmon a week before she had adverse effects on her baby’s brain development (as measured in IQ at the age of 9). That is more than 270 servings of salmon a week, which would be more than 9 lbs. and over 10,000 calories a day of salmon. You would not want to eat that much seafood because you would simply be taking in too many calories and not eating enough of other important food groups necessary to a healthy balanced diet. Overall, there are minimal risks from mercury if you are eating seafood as part of a balanced diet and avoiding those specific species of fish when pregnant, expecting or nursing. What is the “best” fish to eat? Eating a variety of seafood is best to make sure you are eating a balanced diet.

Is eating seafood sustainable? According to the UN FAO State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture Report, 71% are sustainable and improving. NOAA reports 92% of American stocks are not on the overfishing list and 84% are not overfished. We recommend you go to FishWatch.gov, which provides easy-to-understand facts about the science and management behind U.S. seafood and tips on how to make educated sustainable seafood choices. The majority of US groceries and retailers have sustainability practices in place. Always buy seafood from a reputable market where the employees are able to answer your questions. They should be able to tell you what country the fish is from and when it came into the store. Do you recommend wild or farmed seafood? There are good wild and farmed seafood options and generally, both offer the same nutritional benefit. FishWatch.gov has good information and resources

Page 24: Seafood Nutrition Education & Cooking Program...Do you currently take fish oil or omega-3 capsules on a regular basis? Yes No . 5. Do you know where to buy seafood? Yes No 6. Do you

for consumers on their website. Additionally, you can look for the symbol that the product is certified with, such as the Best Aquaculture Practices, Marine Stewardship Council, Aquaculture Stewardship Council, to know that the company followed best practices for environmental responsibility, social responsibility, food safety, animal health and welfare, and traceability. Also, different grocery chains may have their own measurement of sustainability, so be sure to learn about the practices for the stores where you shop.

If seafood is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, does that mean it is high in fat? There are good fats and there are bad fats. Seafood contains good fats and is a lean protein choice. For example, 3 oz. of tuna will have about 15 calories of fat. Plus, Omega-3 fatty acids, which have many health benefits including healthy brain development and a reduction of heart disease risk. It is the saturated fats and trans fats that you find many cakes, cookies, crackers, etc. that you should limit and avoid. You can go http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ to learn more about the USDA recommendations for these types of fats.

Is it true a majority (80-90%) of our seafood comes from overseas? Who is monitoring the safety of this seafood? Yes, a majority of seafood does come from overseas sources as seafood is a global food. The top 10 species of seafood that make up 90 percent of what Americans consume have fisheries management programs in place, including programs managed by NOAA for US-sourced seafood and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), Global Aquaculture Alliance – Best Aquaculture Practices (GAA-BAP), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), and Global Salmon Initiative (GSI) for internationally-sourced seafood. Both domestic and imported seafood are regulated by the FDA’s HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) system. The Centers for Disease Control reports that only 0.14 of reported illnesses from food are attributable to imported seafood.

Does fried fish count? When choosing seafood, opt for healthier preparations for your first two servings of seafood a few reasons:

• Calories: Frying fish adds a significant amount of calories, so you would have to consider your diet as whole and make sure you are getting all the food groups needed within a healthy calorie range.

• Technique: Professionals and restaurants know the proper techniques and temperatures to fry fish, so you may want to consider not frying it yourself.

Note to the Health Educator: For any questions about specific types of fish, refer to Reference Guide for Questions on Common Seafood Varieties and give the reference points of calories, mercury, etc.
